Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commemorative Poems Whatever the degree of merit that belongs to this work, or to anything he has written, whether in prose or verse, the writer has done his best, or as nearly so as circumstances permitted; and he would have done better if he had possessed higher endowments and a wider culture. The few German translations, made many years ago, will not, it is hoped, lessen the value of this collection; and the few pieces not strictly commemorative in their character, or those commemorative only of personal qualities, rather than of public events, will hardly be regarded as an irrelevant addition. It is not, then, with indifference, that the author commits this little venture to the waves of time. If, on its way to the oblivion that sooner or later is the destiny of all perishable things, it shall linger a little while among the "Enchanted Islands" of popular favor before it reaches the Lethean lake, his highest expectations will be realized.
